Me too!! (and also my three best friends!) It's kind of a secret for me too, since I can't tell my parents. But this year at school I've started to tell some people and found my local community. I hope that someday not to far away you won't have to keep it a secret either! Yay bi buddies!

 

Also, CAPTCHA says "web CB." Yes CAPTCHA, we are on the CB website.

Hey anon.

Just because not many people commented didn't mean you did anything wrong. I was really excited to see everyone come back, but I only commented a few returning CBer's posts. I don't know if usually other returning CBers comment on the comments of their friends, but I know that for me it wasn't based on who I recognized or whose comments sounded cool or even which conversations I thought I could contribute to but just . . . random decisions I guess? I don't know. I just kind of picked.

I'm so sorry you feel left out or like you did something wrong or like people don't care. I know that feeling and it absolutely sucks. I don't know how to deal with it either so I can't give you advice but know that I hear you and I understand you. 

All the virtual hugs to you. Hope you have a wonderful time on the CB (again)! <3

Ok, sorta sudden, but I just wanted to say I'm non-binary now. Y'all can still can me a 'she' if it's more comfortable, but xe/ze pronouns are also acceptable.

It's been a long journey, but it's all finally cleared up a little so... Yea. I just put all the pieces together, and figured I'd tell anyone who cares on here. :)

I'm so happy for you! And it's nice to know there are other nonbinary people on CB...I've questioned my gender a lot the past year and I think I might be nb as well. It's very exciting to see CBers like me!

Yay! *happy dance*

It's sorta weird 'cause I've always been a 'tomboyish' girl who was never interested in guys in a romantic way, tended to not want anything to do with traditional 'girl-stuff' and desperately plead-prayed to stay androgynous as a child, so I feel like I really should have figured it out a long time ago, but yeah. Lol

submitted by Jaybells@Cloudy, Lost at Sea

Yeah, I can relate to a lot of that! I definitely wished I would stay androgynous like I was in elementary too. I guess we just didn't always realize that not everyone experienced the same things, so we didn't realize those experiences as possible signs of somthing else.

Little story. The relationship between clothes and gender has been interesting for me: when I was younger I used to refuse to wear things that were sparkly, bejeweled, or sequined since I thought they were too girly. I wonder if it was actually because I was uncomfortable being so strongly associated with "girl." But then, a few years ago I admitted to myself that I do sometimes like to wear dresses and things that are considered feminine, so I felt like I couldn't be nonbinary if I'm happy wearing "girl' clothes. It's been a little difficult, but I've started to understand how clothes and gender don't have to be the same, and just because I sometimes enjoy wearing feminine clothes doesn't mean I'm not nonbinary. (lol but I did order a binder anyway because I really want to see what I would look like then and I think it would make me happy) 

Anyways, hope your day is going well!

Congrats on figuring that out! And me too : ) Just curious, do you have any preference as for she/xe/ze? If not that's fine, I just want to use the pronouns that you like the best.  

And @Cloudy, there are actually a lot of nonbinary CBers, to the best of my knowledge. At least a lot of acceptingness towards us. That's one of the things I love about this place. What pronouns do you use (if you're not sure that's fine)?

Yeah, honestly any are fine, I just like the look of Xe/Ze though (although they're pronounced the same to me). I'm sorta split between those two since I prefer either of them over male or female pronouns, as well as -- to a lesser degree -- fae(it sounds yellowish-orange to me, which doesn't suit me in my mind), or they(half 'cause it sounds like a light green, and also 'cause its plural), and that kind of thing... So yeah.

Either, whichever you prefer.

Oh, that's cool! Thanks for letting me know! I'm returning after a pretty long hiatus (a few years), and beforehand I hadn't known of many nonbinary CBers (I'm sure there were some, I just didn't know about them). I'm still figuring out what pronouns are the best for me, but I'd like to try using they/he/she right now (neopronouns are fine to use too!)
